COMMON HONESTY.

This seems to be an age of specu-
lation. There are many forms OF
what is now called speculation that
are nothing but forms of gambling,
and that lead directly to thieving and
swindling.
There is a demand Tor common
honesty in every part of the land
The pulpit and the press need to
preach it, and the schools and heads
of families need to teach it every day.
The ideas of many reputable appear
ing people as to the difference be-
tween "mine and thine" are very lily
defined in early youth, and the thirst
for wealth in maturer years and the
powers Of acquisitiveness tend to
make them obscure indeed
Money and property are not the
greatest Of earthly blessings A clear
conscience and an upright character
are acquisitions that wealth can not
buy, and that preclude the wrong
ing of any human being. The pau
per who has integrity has a greater
and more imperishable possession
than if without integrity he could
duplicate the bank accounts OF all
the Rothschilds,
Yet it is the great popular error OF
the day that the chief objects in life
are to accumulate money and achieve
fame. A large proportion of the hu-
man race subordinate nearly every
thing to the attainment OF these OBJ
lects and fail in the end. The com
parative few who succeed have their
labor for their pains. Wealth and
power are found to be cloying and
unsatisfactory, and the cares of the
rich and great are far greater than
those of the poor and obscure.
Those who in early life are taught
to appreciate the true value Of hon
esty and of character are very apt to
have their feet directed in the paths
that lead to contentment and happi-
ness.
